i've got some good leads on replacement rubber for our 07 M3 , but the speed rating for them is a T where the placard on the 3 is H rated.

anyone have any problems going from a H rated tire to a T rated?

i can get some Michelin Harmony/Dunlop Signatures/Bridgestones at cost ,, saving me about 30-50$ off retail pricing per tire.
but i also can get a great deal on Toyo Extensa's and Yokohama Avid Envigor's.

anyone running any of these brands on their 3's right now , any suggestions for others to look at?

but it's the speed rating that i'm really wondering about ,,

Thanks
Gord

H rated is good for 130mph, T rated is good for 118mph (which is exactly where the 3 is limited anyway). You'd be fine with T rated tires if you obey speed limits. Just check to make sure the load rating is okay too.
